Easter in the dining room!
I’ve been prepping to paint our dining room after we finished adding some picture frame moulding below the chair rail. Even though our dining room is far from finished, I wanted to show you the Easter vignette on the dining table!
Peter Cottontail and his friends have hopped their way onto our dining table, and scattered brightly colored Easter eggs along the way! We don’t have large Easter gatherings at our home, but I still love decorating the dining table for the holidays.
Our dining room is large and open, with very high ceilings. Currently, the walls are painted white so I wanted the table decor to be bright and colorful. Velvet Easter eggs in gorgeous Spring colors from LoveFeast Shop were the perfect addition.
The center of the table is filled with a grouping of my faux chocolate bunnies. All the bunnies are standing on a base that is an antique plateau mirror that belonged to my mother. You can see a little bit of it peeking out from underneath the bunnies.
Layered across the table you will see hydrangeas, lamb’s ear, seeded eucalyptus, and lavender, all faux from Hobby Lobby.
Those faux chocolate bunnies are still one of my favorite DIY’s. They look like real chocolate!
Taking center stage among the chocolate bunnies is a large velvet Easter egg, and tucked in among the flowers are velvet carrots, strawberries, and eggs, all from LoveFeast Shop.
We recently created paneled walls by adding picture frame moulding to the walls below the chair rail. I’m planning on painting the chair rail and the wall below in Sherwin Williams Snowbound, and the wall above in Benjamin Moore Palladian Blue. I’ll share more of that as it progresses!
The room is so large, and the white walls don’t give it the depth that I would like to see. I think painting it in a darker color will make it feel a bit cozier than it is now.
I’m also going to be adding a rug to the floor to anchor the room, as well as drapes over the window. It’s been a slow process and it’s coming together at a snail’s pace.
If you love creating a new Easter egg project every year, check out our tutorial on making our faux Wedgwood Easter eggs! They are the perfect compliment to our chocolate bunnies!
My little monkey, Miss RubyLou is ready for Easter, even though she doesn’t look very happy, does she? After this photo was taken, she’s been under the weather for a few days with an upset tummy. I believe she has eaten something that doesn’t agree with her so she is getting some extra loving and tender care from us this week.
I can’t wait to show you the changes in the dining room, so stay tuned!
Cheers, Cindy
So funny, I have the same dining room chairs you have, and plan on painting my new dining room Palladian Blue as well. I bought some soft blue velvet and I will be recovering my chairs, as they were quite stained when I bought them. But with young grandchildren I’ve put off recovering them.
Can’t wait to see your transformed dining room!
Does Miss Ruby Lou ever get messed up or act like a dog, or does she just pose, LOL? I’m sorta kidding…
I love your “chocolate” bunnies.
Thank you, Florence! Lol, RubyLou gets into plenty of things, but she does love to have her picture taken!
JUST STUNNING!!! The colors are just so soothing together! Thank you for getting me motivated to decorate for Easter. In the last year, I’ve had both of my knees replaced, and not only has it physically limited me, but mentally, I have adapted a “Laissez-Faire” attitude…or as we Americans say, “I don’t care!” Christmas decorating almost did me in! I’m also in the process of downsizing ALL of my holiday decorations, since my youngest and only remaining child at home is a full on teenager (who also no longer cares) I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEW PAINT COLOR!!! I’m so excited for you!! Your dining room is a dream dining room!!!
Poor RubyLou, I hope she feels better soon. Give her an extra hug and a kiss!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the bunny in overall. Seems to me he is new…where in the world did you find him???
I need him in my life, so please don’t tell me he is a vintage find…!!! Love your choco bunnies from a couple years ago. Love it when they make their appearance. Outside of Christmas, Easter if my fave!!!
Hi Shelley! Yes, the bunny in the overalls is vintage. I actually recently listed him for sale in our online shop and he sold immediately!
Hi, Cindy. I love your ideas and have tried several of them. I, too, loved the farmer bunny in overalls in your Easter table-scape and have discovered some things about him that might be helpful to other fans/readers. The bunny is vintage (2000) and was created by Henri Chrisdon. I have managed to find two of them online (Ebay and Mercari) and there are many other “Chrisdon rabbits” in varying colors and poses to be found. Hope this helps if others are seeking to find one. Kind regards, Paula
Those chocolate bunnies you have created are simple the best! Beautiful tablescape!
Your entire centerpiece is simply stunning! I love everything about it! Can’t see very much of it, but the table runner looks like a rug–where did you get it from, may I ask?
Leslie, the table runner is from Amazon. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/436m2WS
Thank you!
I love your centerpiece and Easter decor. Where did you get the beautiful faux hydrangeas? I can’t seem to find ones as full and vibrant as the ones you have.
Marie, most of mine came from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IqnsC2
I can’t wait to see your dining room! I know it will be beautiful!
Your table is beautiful. Love all the jeweled eggs and carrots. I painted some bunny after seeing yours last year and I still love them. Such a good idea and most people think they are chocolate. Can’t wait to see your dining room completed. Happy Easter as we celebrate the risen Savior. Hope RubyLou feels better soon.
